Thread: Using sscanf

I am trying to use sscanf to print out only the numbers in a string of characters. Here is my code so far, but I get a segmentation fault when i run it.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
char storage[100];
int n=0, numbers;
while( storage[n] != EOF ) {
gets(storage);
sscanf(storage[n], "%lf", &numbers);
printf("%d\n", numbers);
n++;
}
}

I cant seem to find the error in this code, please help me!

The first parameter to sscanf() takes a c-string, not a char - it also expects a pointer to store the results. You are also mixing integers and floats with %d and %lf (and using EOF incorrectly).

Code:

    char test[] = "1234";
    int n;
    sscanf(test,"%d",&n);
    printf ("%d\n",n);

What are you trying to do? Maybe we can point you to a tutorial. Otherwise, study your C book.
